THE CHALLENGE
The Amafilter® customer was dissatisfied with the quality of the liquid sugar produced during
their B-sugar campaign. They required an efficient filtration solution that would deliver
high quality liquid sugar that would meet the high standards expected by the Food &
Beverages industry.

THE SOLUTION
To ensure exceptional quality, the Amafilter® team recommended a two-step filtration
process:

Increasing the production life of sulphuric acid production units from 16 to 24 months. Amafilter ® provided the customer with a two vessel skid mounted ceramic cartridge filter system. Installation of the system reduced the solid content in the liquid sulphur to max.10 ppm, significantly increasing the production life of the sulphuric acid production units from 16 to 24 months, before any maintenance was required. This also resulted in a more profitable operation.
